Does this:
-2/3x-1/2=1
mean this?:
1. x - = 1
or does it mean this?:
2. - = 1
If it's the first way, like this:
x - = 1
then clear of fractions first by multiplying through
by the LCD of 6
6·x - 6· = 6·1
-4x - 3 = 6
-4x = 9
=
x =
-------------------------------
If it's the second way, like this:
- = 1
then clear of fractions first by multiplying through
by the LCD of 6x
6x· - 6x· = 6x·1
-4 - 3x = 6x
-9x = 4
=
x =

You can put this solution on YOUR website! -2/3x-1/2=1.what is x=
-----------------
Add 1/2 to both sides to get:
(-2/3)x = (3/2)
---
Multiply both sides by (-3/2) to gt:
x = (-3/2)(3/2)
---
x = -9/4
